    I've been pretty skeptical about this since I was a kid. How could they POSSIBLY know that no two are a like? I can see maybe 900 billion flakes out my window right now and I feel pretty positive that two of them are twins.

  • I'm grumpy because I have to go out and buy MH's step-mother a present for her 50th birthday, and it's only a week after Christmas, and we really don't get along all that well lately, and we weren't even invited to the party until last weekend, and MH has to work so I have to go alone, and I'm off wheat and sugar for January so there'll just be a bunch of food that I can't eat, and I'm a hermit and would rather just be at home reading, and it's during Adelaide's afternoon nap so she'll be cranky the whole time, and.....

    Would they be Irish twins?

  • I have not gotten dressed in real clothes in two days. I went from my pajamas to workout clothes yesterday, which I stayed in all day, and then I changed into pajamas before bed last night, which I am still in. And then if I can get out later (we have snow), I will change into new workout clothes to go to the gym. This is one of the benefits to living alone, I guess!

    I don't live alone. I go from my plaid pj pants to my yoga pants and back again most days. I very rarely put on real pants.

  • I've spent the entirety of 2014 feeling poorly.  I fear this bodes ill for the rest of the year.

  • My first client cancelled so I was able to stay home for an extra two hours. I ate Reese's cups and read. There are piles of laundry to be cleaned and floors to be mopped. I didn't touch them. I may not even tell my husband that I had a late morning so that maybe he'll come home and get it done before I get home (I work late tonight).

  • I just finished cleaning out some files (ie, recycling the ridiculous amounts of paper I keep for no good reason) and reading the latest issue of Vogue at my desk. I took breaks here and there to send emails so that it looks like I'm working. This is pretty much the plan for the rest of the day too.

    I went on a ebook library binge while on vacation & downloaded a few of Lauren Conrad's books... they actually are pretty good.  I've read 2 & gave them both 4 stars (from the Fame Game series).

  • MH and I are just not on the same page lately.  He told me last night that I give up too easily.  I told him I am too exhausted from fighting people all day at work to come home and fight or have to constantly "justify" my opinion at home.  I don't understand why I can't just say, "I don't like the furniture this way" and be done with it.  I have to justify what position I want the couch to be in?  FFS just move it back where we had it and stop arguing with me.

    I also wanted to go somewhere this year for my birthday.  MH said that was fine and that we could start planning.  Well, I start planning then some of his friends send an email out wanting us (and other people that I'm not really a fan of) to take a trip with them in the fall.  So of course he tells them that we will go.  When I'm finally able to talk to him about it, he basically says he would rather go with this group than somewhere over my birthday with just me.  1.  that really hurt my feelings 2. this will be the only big trip I will get this year if we go 3. I told him that I'm always the one that makes birthdays special for our family and no one ever does that for me, so I want my birthday to be special.  He still wants to go with the group.  

    I am trying to open up to the idea of this trip and fucking compromise because someone has to, and we have traveled with these people before and that was ok, so I started getting some ideas together.  I tell him some of my suggestions.  He doesn't warm up to any of them, but when he gets a text from his friend saying the EXACT SAME PLACE I mentioned he is all, yeah that would be great.  I want to punch him in the face.

  • I woke up today and thought it was Monday. Having the holidays in the middle of the week screwed me up.

  • I also am sort of annoyed that we've paid essentially two weeks of childcare for one day of the nanny actually coming. Sure, last week was a holiday and we were gone, so we gave the week off with pay.

    Early this week, it would have been weird to have 2-3 adults and the nanny at the house so we have those two days & New Years off too. Yesterday she got in an accident on the way to our house because of the snow so we took the day off. I like our nanny and want her to be happy and stay with us but holy expensive! The cheapskate in me is dying thinking of the check I have to write when I get home.

  • The govenor just called off school on Monday because of extreme cold.  Three-day weekend!

  • I'm working remotely because of the storm we got, my boss told me to not try to risk it and it was really nasty this morning.  I have done barely any work.  I'm half tempted to take PTO for the rest of the day, but I'd rather save it.  In my defense I barely have any work to do.  I'm going to make myself another cup of coffee and take a shower.
